<p>I can't see how we can confidently tell you to do one thing or the other.
We have no specific information. We don't have the numbers from Georgetown or ND. We don't know your parents income, ages, health, savings, etc.
I think most of the responses you are getting are just a litmus test of peoples biases on the free ride/prestige issue.
I think you should sit down with your parents and crunch actual numbers and don't listen to us again until you have.</p>
